re: Sansui 661 Receiver

I was just looking thru the Sansui listings on Ebay. The 661 is a good receiver but I wouldnt go out of my way for it. Right now there are quite a few good choices- I have to avoid the temptation myself! (smile). Do you specifically want a receiver or is an integrated amp ok for you too? I see some VERY NICE AU Series integrated amps on Ebay now- drool!!(and some very nice matching TU Tuners).

The 661 is fine if you can get it inexpensively- say in the $50 price range. Otherwise, opt for the next later models such as a 7070 or G Series- the lower power models are still good buys- they will provide enough power and be less $$ & less bidding competition than 9090, G-9700, etc.
